...

The night was deep, and thick clouds drifted across the sky, obscuring the bright moon and the stars. The darkness enveloped Tianfu, but it could not hide the neon lights and the bustling city.

Before midnight, Liu Menglong had already changed into his night clothes and sat by the bed, checking his new status. The change from leveling up five times was significant, and he allocated all 50 unassigned attribute points to his True Qi, significantly enhancing his abilities.

Permissions: Level 2 — Store, Training Ground

The four main attributes were much higher than before, but the key was the new skill Heavenly Gang Body Protection, which he gained at Level 20. The 100% defense boost looked impressive, but the True Qi consumption was quite high, 50 points at the basic level. He wondered if his True Qi would be sufficient to support the skill as he leveled up.

Actually, Liu Menglong wasn't very fond of this skill. He preferred attacking, and a defensive skill like Heavenly Gang Body Protection didn't fit his personality. He even thought it was less practical than Stealth. He couldn't understand why the system would give such a weak skill at Level 20.

It's definitely a defective product!

That's all Liu Menglong could think.

The skills weren't the most important thing; the current skills were enough for him. What he cared about most was the upgrade to Level 2 permissions, which allowed him to access the second floor of the store. Thinking about the better-quality items there, Liu Menglong felt a bit excited. Moreover, the Level 2 permissions opened the training ground, which seemed like a place to enhance his strength.

Liu Menglong eagerly opened the training ground. In the next moment, a white light flashed, and when it returned to normal, the scene had transformed into an arena like an ancient Roman coliseum. Liu Menglong stood in the center, the grandeur of the place making his heart tremble. He could almost feel the excitement of the ancient crowds cheering for the battles between humans and beasts.

"Welcome, host, to the training ground." As Liu Menglong was immersed in the grandeur of the coliseum, Dragonfly appeared before him with a playful smile, fluttering her wings and landing on his shoulder. "This will be a new experience to help you quickly gain combat experience and level up."

Quickly gain experience and level up!

Liu Menglong's eyes sparkled, and he asked eagerly, "What should I do?"

"The training ground offers different levels and difficulties of training." Dragonfly smiled and waved her hand, and immediately a 3D diagram appeared before Liu Menglong, showing countless sections, each representing a different level and difficulty of training ground.

Dragonfly pulled the diagram to the top and pointed to the 20.1 section. "This is the simplest Level 20 training ground. Each level has 1 to 10 difficulties, with higher numbers indicating greater difficulty and more experience gained. Since you are Level 24, I still recommend starting with the Level 20, Difficulty 1 training ground. If you fail, you won't gain any experience, and you might even lose some."

Losing experience if you fail?

Liu Menglong felt a chill and nodded solemnly. "Let's start with the 20.1 level."

"Alright." Dragonfly tapped the 20.1 section, which turned into a door. "Just walk through this door, host."

Liu Menglong nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped through the door.

The white light flashed again, and the next moment, Liu Menglong found himself in a vast, endless prairie.

"Where is this?" Liu Menglong was taken aback, once again amazed by the system's power.

"This is a virtual prairie. All species found on the prairie are here. Your task is to survive for three days. If you survive, you will gain a significant amount of experience."

"Three days!?" Liu Menglong looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Impossible! I have many things to do in reality. How can I waste time here, especially for three days? Cancel the training, I want to go out!"

"Host, there's no need to worry." Dragonfly smiled. "The time ratio in the training ground is completely different from reality. Three days here is only three hours in reality, so it won't consume your necessary time."

Three days for three hours? That's a 24:1 time ratio!

Liu Menglong's eyes sparkled. If the experience here is significant and there's a 24:1 time ratio, why bother going out to fight monsters? He could just train here.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Liu Menglong became.

"I forgot to remind you, host." Dragonfly added. "You can only choose one training ground per day, and once you complete a training ground, it becomes unavailable. So the training ground's help is limited, and the main way to gain experience is still through real-life activities."

"Damn!"

Liu Menglong finally understood why the training ground was only Level 2. The root of the problem was here! If the training ground could be used infinitely, it wouldn't have been unlocked at Level 2. System, you're screwing me over!

But having it is better than nothing. Liu Menglong began his first trial in the 20.1 training ground.

While Liu Menglong was training, the numerous plainclothes police officers who had been waiting at various nightclubs and no-man's-lands were suffering. According to the Kung Fu Panda's crime time, it was usually between 0:30 and 3:30 AM. However, after a whole night of waiting, the over a hundred plainclothes officers encountered several crimes, none of which were related to the Kung Fu Panda.

At 4 AM, Liu Bucong, frustrated by the lack of results, announced the end of the operation. The plainclothes officers sighed in relief but were also full of resentment. "Kung Fu Panda, where are you? I~f**k~you~mother~!"

Feeling the resentment of over a hundred police officers, Liu Menglong sneezed.

At that moment, Liu Menglong was lying in bed, his consciousness immersed in the store, looking at the items on the second floor.

Not long ago, he successfully completed his first training, gaining 10,000 experience points, just 150 points away from Level 25. The effect was quite good.

However, the three days were quite dangerous. The prairie was home to wolves, lions, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, and elephants, and the water sources were infested with crocodiles. There were countless mosquitoes day and night, making it hard for Liu Menglong to sleep well.

But he didn't dare to sleep too soundly at night, as the hunting wolves and beasts wouldn't let him rest easily. In the training ground, Liu Menglong was a big target, with mosquitoes and beasts waiting for him wherever he went. The system wouldn't automatically restore his status after 24 hours, and he had to hunt for food. Fortunately, the prairie had countless animals, so eating wasn't a problem, but eating well was another matter.

Why? Because there was no salt! Unsalted roasted meat was tasteless, and after three days, Liu Menglong was almost a wild man. Fortunately, the system restored his status to normal at the end of the training, or he wouldn't have been able to endure it.
